Even natural pesticides are "pest and plant specific" There are many natural substances which can be used in your garden. However, the exact pests and plants need to be identified. For example, in the Pacific Northwest, we often have a problem with slugs. A little dish of beer will often be effective. For ants, a conconction of boric acid, grape jelly and cheap canned cat food may be helpful. If you are in the US, consider contacting your County Extension Service or Master Gardner program for additional information. http://www.countrydoc.com Dr. Karen Benton, Naturopathic Physician
